i am not an island

you walk a step ahead

won't let me see your eyes

don't trust me with your tears

that's probably wise

i'm trying to reach up to you

i end up stumbling like a child

i try to find the words

and now and then

i draw that smile

i hold on. everything i do

everything i say

everywhere i go it's always been the same

you'll be right behind or standing in my way

i am not an island

i am not an island anymore

you're wasting time

saving me

now you walk two steps behind

i still can't see your eyes

if i turn around

you'll cut right through me

and softly by my side

you fall asleep

i wait until i'm sure

you're breathing really slow as i get up

and gently close the door

oh hold on

everything i do

everything i say

everywhere i go it's always been the same

you'll be right behind or standing in my way

i am not an island

i am not an island anymore

you're wasting time

changing me

everything i do

everything i say

i did it all for you it's always been the same

you'll be right behind or standing in my way

i am not an island

i am not an island anymore
